Tribe

This is a disturbing tome that should be required reading for every bank president, politician, and captain of industry in America. A society where CEO's of major corporations make exponentially more than their lowest paid employees, a quarter of all children go hungry, where a reduction in the unemployment rate causes a drop in the stock exchange has lost track of the egalitarian tribal society that was supplanted when Europeans settled America. As North Americans become more independent and comfortable they become more isolated and less self-fulfilled. It is this dislocation that is seen as contributing to difficulty veterans have in reintegrating into society when they get back home. What this book has to say is damning to the political rhetoric splashed across our media in the present political campaign. Lest you attempt to dismiss the arguments here presented the author cites 40 pages of reference materials to back his premise.
